I periodically donate photos to the Carnegie Picture Lab for the children to use as painting references. As a child I used to LOVE to look at and draw pictures from wildlife photos. It was a dream of mine to be a wildlife biologist and photographer. So it makes me happy to be able to watch a new generation be inspired by wildlife and hopefully one day be part of conserving nature. Here are a couple photos of the young artists working with my photos (courtesy of Tracy Thompson, Program Director, Carnegie Picture Lab).
